Thinking of You "Spring Card"

This is called a spring card because of the way it folds flat in an envelope then 'springs' up when taken out of the card. Here is the front view



And here are two pics of the card open. Enjoy!

For A Wonderful Aunt

I did another glitter card, this time for my wonderful aunt who is living in the U.S.A.

It's black with squiggle lines done in burnt orange, outlined with gold glitter.

Shimmering...


I found this lovely vintage poinsettia image and just had to try it out. I glittered the edges of the card with gold polyflakes.

Cards Galore!

The cards with images of cardinals and robins were made with hand painted toppers by Mary Helen Sims, a very talent artist. (Thank you Mary Helen for your wonderful work). The teabag tiles on these cards were also made with her images.




Vintage Holly - All Glittered Up!

This card came about as a bit of a surprise. I saw the image and decided I must use it this Christmas. After about a half hour of trying different layouts, I thought - wonder how it would look with glitter. And here it is in all its shimmering glory.

Oh Green - I Luv It!

Honestly, the holly images were just begging me to use them, so with green and cream card paperpapers in hand I went to work to created these beauties. The 3d sheets and images used are Penny Wessenauer creations. Thank you for viewing.






Tinkerbell Christmas

I made this lovely 3d Christmas card for my goddaughter who loves Tinkerbell. Parts of the image are layered and glittered with polyflakes.




The pics are of the same card taken with two different photo settings, and different backgrounds.

Christmas Is Fast Approaching!

Hello again, it's been a while since I've posted, but with good reason :) I've been creating lots of new cards for you to see. These are embroidered cards, done with shimmering threads on white or pale yellow backgrounds. Every one is different - everytime I tried to replicate a layout or style, I ended up with a completely new design all together. LOL!
